Policies & Analysis
Learn more about the policies and actions taken by the Trump-Vance administration, and how they threaten communities, freedoms, and democracy.
The Trump-Vance Administration is trying to
End mandatory reporting on greenhouse gas emissions
This regulation would roll back previous efforts to fight climate change and allow polluting industries to hide the scale of their greenhouse gas emissions.
Reconsideration of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
TBD
September 12, 2025
The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule has required major polluters to report the quantity in their greenhouse gas (carbon) emissions since 2008. With this new regulation, the EPA would scrap that requirement for over 8,000 facilities around the country, including refineries, landfills, and other large industrial sites. This regulation would also eliminate a key source of data that policy makers, scientists, and others can use to track carbon emissions and develop plans to reduce emissions and improve air quality.
